City Modding questions

I've done a few searches for this information and didn't really pan out to anything, so here we go.
I did a search for Turbo upgrades and didn't come up with much. Seems like a Garrett GTBB15 (or IHI equivalent) would be pretty ideal. They'll flow up to about 220hp, the ballbearing design would decrease lag-time, because of the size you'd probably want an external waste-gate, no biggie. These cars have been around long enough I figured there'd be tons of stuff like that.
Also, no real information on aftermarket camshafts. I know Honda does a good job with things, but you can always improve. Atleast increase the lift on both and the duration on exhaust... just a thought.
Also, not finding much about bumping the CR on one of these bad-boys. The factory 7.5-7.6:1 is pretty conservative, is there any reason not to deck the head and bring the CR up to somewhere over 8:1 (adjustable camgears probably an issue)? Just looking for a little insight.
Looking to drop a T2 into a 1G in a couple months, I caught the obvious mods section (exhaust, intake, IC, etc). Just looking for a little more in-depth theory. Perhaps I've been searching wrong, but I haven't really been finding much, any direction or info would be great.
